WAKEFIELD, the Bronx — Robbers spotted getting out of a Bentley before allegedly robbing a man of $20 and jewelry at gunpoint, then shooting him, are being sought by police Tuesday.

The situation unfolded near Carpenter Avenue and East 241 Street, in the Bronx's Wakefield neighborhood, around 12:40 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 9, police said.

Surveillance footage captured two men exit a Bentley before police said they punched a man in the face and hit him over the head with a firearm.

They then allegedly took his jewelry and wallet, which contained $20 in cash.

The victim ran away, but one of the men allegedly shot him in the back of his left leg. He was hospitalized in serious but stable condition, police said.
